* DisappointedByTheMotive: [[spoiler:Gretchen took a bunch of innocent kids and dropped them on an island in the middle of nowhere with barely any way of keeping themselves alive. Watched them essentially break down due to emotional torment and spied on them while they cried and screamed for help and didn't lift a single finger. Why, because she wanted to prove that girls are better than boys. All the pain and suffering is essential because of a woman with the emotional maturity of a five year old.]]


Added DiffLines:

* StrawFeminist: Dot starts out with shades of this, but looses as she grows closer to Fatin and the others.
** Gretchen. See DisappointedByTheMotive above.
